Gambe tta,s Glass Eye.

Aurelien Scholl narrates an amusing
story about Gambetta. 1t was onI1 q
few days after the famous ste esman had
had his injured eye removed and an artf
fetal one put in its place. A dinner party
at the residence of @ prominca1 literary
man living on the Rue Jouber had beesE
arranged, at WI ch were present Edmond
About, SarCey, Scholl, and CIher we'll
known people. Gambetts was ex-
pected. 1t was his first appear
snce in public with his glass
eye, and it was agreed among the others
that it would be in the best tasre to make
no reference to it. AS soon However as
the popular orator came into the room he
placed himself before the msntle-piece
and said: "WelI, is it q success? What do
you think of it?" "Think of what2" "My
false eye" OF course every one went into
raptures Admirable" Impossible to
detect it." (Which is the real one?"
'Perfect," etc. And throughout the
dinner Gambetta kept turning from
one to the othrr and
expressing establishment at th" perfection
of the artificial member. Abou. 10 O'Clock
the guests left their host and were max
ing their way toward the BOULEVARD when
Gambetta, always in hurry, ran against
q big woman carrying large basket Of
fruit or nuts on her arm. Cant you
look and see where you're a-going?" she
asked In voice that suggested the recent
use of stimulsnts. MADAME" replied
Gambetta politely, "we were both little
TO blame" The woman not at all pa
Gated, turned round, eyed her opponent
from head to foot, and then edded: "I
don't know what keeps me from MASKING
t'Other eye for you!'

When one who is not of the elect under

it with the fork into lengths that are port
able and manageable. Not so with the
practical macaroni-eating Itslisn, who
deems cutting the long tubes sin akin
to that which epiCures say exists in
cutting up lettuce. He coils the COM
pound like so much rope around the
fork, balances it high in air, and lets the
strings drop into his open mouth with
unctuous deliberstion. A long tube of
macarOni is sometimes two or three min

pleasing one, is, at all events, rather curl

HARDLY A CASE,
Mexican Ohncer IN Pursuit OF a Deserter

Crosses the Rio Grande and Is Arrested.
Special TO the Gazette.
LAREDO, TEX, May 25.-About 8
O'Clock this evening the denizens of this
city living near the river were startled by
seeing a man on the Mexican
side running and, divesting him
self OF his clothing, plunge into the
river. Closely following him was
another man dressed in the uniform Of
the Mexican regular army. The first
party was deserter from the Mexican
army, and the second was second lieu
tenant named J. Cortez. He fired one
shot at the deserter, and on arriving here
the officer was arrested as he stepped
from the boat, charged with carrying
deadly weapons. Consul Varrios Of
Mexico, stationed here, at once secured
his release on bond, and the
case will come up tomorrow. There
seems to be a division of opinion as to
the legality of the arrest. Sheriff San
chez claims that the officer was under
American jurisdiction when he touched
the bank on this side, while Cortez is dis
posed to think he was exempt from ar
rest until he set foot on american soil.

County Of Caldwell VS.. Gro cket, Hsr-
bet et al, from Caldwell; opinion by
StsYton, 4. j. This was suit below by
8ppeIlees 70 recover from appellants the
amount of teachers warrants for services
between September l, 1873, and January
/, 1876. The court below held that the
claims were good, and this appeal was
taken. The claims were approved by
the auditOrial board under the act
OF August :, 1876, which action was ap-
proved by the County Commissioners
court.
The act of April 2, 1883, provides that
the County Commissioners shall issue
warrants for any valid claims under the
act of August Z, 1876, or the act April
%, 1879, in favor of the holder of said
claim, and provides further, how to raise
the money in case there is none to pay
them with. This act thus recog-
nizes the validity of the claims
audited and Ollowed by the boards.
Several questions of minor Importance
are raised relating to matters of practice.
The principal question, however, is the
answer 10 the petition that the claims are
barred by limitations. The claims were
recognized as valid by the County Com
missioncrs' court and so continued until
that court It scted them, but short time
before this suit was brought and no &C
tion could be brought until the claims
were disallowed, and even if
it had been otherwise the act
of April 8, 1888, would have
lifted the bsr because the legislature has
the power to require the payment of
lust debt by one of the municipal
divisions of the state even after the debt
is barred by limitations.
We are of the opinion that appellant
was entitled to trial by Jury under the
facts, but there is not an error sufficient
for reyersa! if under the evidence no
other judgment could be rendered, for
the refusal of the Jury did not operate
TO the injury of he appellant, The
objection that the claims were
good only in the hands of traders is de-
Cided by the statute, which says any
holder of the claims is emitted to war
rant. 1t is urged that all the above
named acts are void, because unconstitu-
tional. How can that be when they were
ordered by the constitution
There is no reyersible error, and the
judgment is affiruea

HAUGHToN, Mich, May 25.-About
$4,000 has been raised for the Lake
Linden fire sufferers. There are probs-
bly, $50 people crowded in the churches,
school houses, etc. Over 200 families
lost everything except the clothes they
had on. They must have houses, furni-
ture and clothing and begin to prepare
for next winter, for as soon as one winter
is over here the poor must get ready for
the next. The lowest estimate of the
loss is $1,OOO,OO0, of which the poor
workingmen lost over one-half, and most
of them have no insurance.

were found by that body, two for muir
der, one for attempt to murder, two for
theft and six for misdemeanor. This is
Judge Rsndolph's first term Of court and

District Attorney B. w. Camp will also
be taken out of this field by the creation
OF the new district.
We can now trutnfully say that the
drouth is thing of the past. We first
have drouth and then rain, and both it
seems never come together. We have
had several good rains recently, which
has caused the farmer to take courage.
The prospect for good crops of corn and
cotton is excellent, while the outlook for
oats and wheat is not so good; yet there
will be a fair crop of each raised in the

which Jack ParnelI was stabbed by his
brether-in-Iaw Will Linsey, inficting a
serious though not fatal wound, and Lin
sey was badly hurt by being struck on
the head with stick by Parnell, 1t seems
that Mr.. Walling, the father-in-laW of
botn parties had possession Of a small
Jtep-child of Parnell's, whose wife was
dead, and Parneu had been trying for
sometime to get possession of it, and
as he was not permitted TO go
on the premises of Wslling, he had taken
this opportunity of taking it away from
its grandparents, and went into the
church, and taking the child, started out,
when he was struck with q stick by Liz
sey, knocking him down; quickly arising,
he struck Linsey with stick, knocking
him down. At this juncture parties in
terfered and stopped the fight, when Lin
sey came up near and taking out his
knife stabbed Parnell twice, inhicting
one very serious wound and another very
painful. BotK parties are undEr arrest,

pressed with the fact that he could not have

for every suspicious circumstance against
him, and shows very clearly that he himself
would have been killed had not his brother
been aroused before he was. His brother
entered his fathers room just before he did.
and as his brother entered he was knocked
down, then Tom ran and jumped out Of the
window and gave the alarm. He met a
negro soon after he jumped and tried to get
him to return with MIN and render assist

both heard blows and screams in the house.

water and washed the blood from his feet

ford states his interview was a short one,
but he was impressed with the fact, from a
long experience as a criminal lawyer, that
he could not have made tie statement in
the way and manner that lie did, had he
been guilty. Tom exhibited much indigna-

so nearly and dearly related to him.
